A Comparative Review of Leading Organizations Serving HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, and Multi-Trade Contractors
Choosing a training or coaching partner is a meaningful decision for a home service company.
The right organization can help strengthen operations, improve financial discipline, develop leaders, create more consistent customer experiences, and reinforce better habits across the company.
The challenge is that the leading organizations in this space do not all solve the same problems in the same way.
Some are especially strong in business systems and financial management. Others are more focused on leadership, communication, customer experience, or how effectively training becomes part of day-to-day behavior.
That makes a single overall ranking less useful than a category-by-category comparison.
Why DataTurk.ai Created This Study
DataTurk.ai created this study to help home service companies act on the issues our platform helps uncover. We identify performance gaps across areas such as call handling, customer experience, sales execution, and operational consistency, but we do not provide training or business coaching. This study is intended to give our customers and other contractors a practical starting point for finding qualified training and coaching organizations when additional support is needed.
For the inaugural 2026 Home Service Training & Coaching Study, we evaluated six established organizations that provide training and coaching to residential service contractors:
- CEO Warrior — Home service business coaching and training focused on leadership, accountability, operations, and growth.
- CertainPath — Contractor coaching, training, business systems, and implementation support.
- Nexstar Network — Coaching, training, business systems, and peer networking for plumbing, HVAC, and electrical contractors.
- Power Selling Pros — Home service customer service and sales training focused on CSRs and technicians, with one-on-one coaching, real-call feedback, and ongoing accountability designed to improve booking, conversion, and customer experience.
- Service Excellence — Home service business coaching and training, including the PRESS PLAY training platform.
- Service Nation — Contractor training, coaching, business resources, networking, and membership programs.
The study compares them across eight areas that commonly affect the performance and scalability of a home service business:
- Operational Systems & Business Infrastructure
- Financial Accountability & Performance Management
- Enterprise Scalability
- Organizational Alignment
- Customer Journey Consistency
- Cross-Department Communication
- Behavioral Reinforcement
- Customer Experience Alignment
The purpose of the study is not to identify one company as universally superior.
It helps contractors understand where each organization is strongest, so they can make a more informed decision based on their own business needs.
How We Evaluated the Organizations
Which issue is holding your company back? Take the Home Service Growth Assessment at the bottom of this study to identify the areas that deserve the most attention.
No universally accepted industry criteria measures the effectiveness of home service training organizations against one another.
For that reason, this study does not pretend that the rankings are laboratory measurements.
They are comparative assessments.
For each category, we compared the organizations based on the breadth and relevance of their documented programs, how directly those programs address the capability being evaluated, the roles and departments included, the degree to which the capability appears integrated into the organization’s broader methodology, and the mechanisms available to support implementation. Rankings reflect our assessment of relative strength within that specific category, not an assessment of an organization’s overall quality or its training.
We also considered an important distinction:
Breadth and specialization are not the same thing.
An organization with a broad operating system may be particularly well suited to a company that needs infrastructure across several departments.
An organization with deeper emphasis on communication or reinforcement may be more appropriate for a company that already has systems but struggles with execution.
Neither approach is inherently better.
The value depends on the problem being solved.
For that reason, we do not calculate an overall winner.
Each category stands on its own.
DataTurk.ai does not provide training or coaching services. We created this study to help contractors identify outside resources that may be appropriate for the issues they uncover.
Organizations Included in the 2026 Study
The organizations below are presented alphabetically.
CEO Warrior
CEO Warrior serves home service companies through training, coaching, leadership development, accountability, and business-growth programs.
Its approach covers multiple areas of the organization, including leadership, culture, operations, sales, implementation, and management development.
Leadership and accountability are particularly visible parts of the CEO Warrior model.
That makes it relevant to contractors whose most significant challenges involve developing managers, strengthening leadership behavior, building accountability, or creating a stronger internal culture.
CertainPath
CertainPath works with contractors across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and related home service categories.
Its programs address operations, financial performance, leadership, sales, customer service, management development, and implementation.
A defining part of the CertainPath model is the combination of training and business coaching.
That makes it especially relevant to contractors seeking structured business systems with ongoing guidance and implementation support.
Nexstar Network
Nexstar Network is one of the most established organizations serving residential HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors.
Its model includes training, coaching, business systems, financial management, benchmarking, leadership development, call-center education, dispatch, technician development, and peer interaction.
The breadth of the Nexstar model is one of its primary strengths.
For companies seeking a comprehensive operating framework rather than a solution focused on a single department or skill set, Nexstar warrants serious consideration.
Power Selling Pros
Power Selling Pros provides customer service and sales training for home service contractors, with programs focused on CSRs and technicians.
Its model combines initial training with ongoing one-on-one coaching, using actual recorded calls to provide personalized feedback and practical guidance.
Ongoing accountability and manager check-ins are designed to reinforce stronger communication, booking, sales, and customer-service behaviors over time.
That makes Power Selling Pros especially relevant to contractors seeking focused improvement in call handling, technician communication, conversion, customer experience, and behavioral reinforcement.
Service Excellence
Service Excellence provides training and coaching for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and multi-trade home service companies.
Its programs address leadership, communication, sales, operations, profitability, customer experience, and organizational performance.
A central part of its training approach is the PRESS PLAY training series.
PRESS PLAY is designed around practical application rather than classroom instruction alone. Participants work through the types of conversations, decisions, objections, questions, and customer situations they encounter in the field.
The model can involve multiple roles across the company, including technicians, salespeople, CSRs, dispatchers, managers, and leadership.
That cross-functional design becomes particularly relevant in areas involving alignment, communication, customer experience, and reinforcement.
Service Nation
Service Nation provides contractor education, coaching, business-development resources, networking, and peer learning.
Its programs cover a broad range of business disciplines, including leadership, sales, marketing, operations, financial performance, customer service, and business growth.
The peer-community component is an important part of the Service Nation model.
That makes it relevant to contractors who value both structured education and the opportunity to learn from other operators facing similar challenges.
Category 1: Operational Systems & Business Infrastructure
As a home service company grows, informal systems eventually begin to fail.
Processes that worked when the owner managed ten employees may become unreliable when the company has fifty.
More employees create more handoffs.
More departments create more management complexity.
More locations create more opportunities for inconsistency.
This category considers the business infrastructure available to help contractors operate with greater structure and discipline.
That includes areas such as business planning, management systems, operational processes, KPIs, organizational structure, call center management and repeatability.
2026 Ranking
1. Nexstar Network 2. CertainPath 3. Service Excellence 4. Service Nation 5. CEO Warrior
Analysis
Nexstar ranks first because business infrastructure is one of the clearest strengths of its model. Its programs span a broad range of operational and managerial disciplines, allowing contractors to address multiple parts of the company within a single ecosystem.
CertainPath ranks second with a similarly strong emphasis on systems, process development, coaching, and implementation.
Service Excellence ranks third. Its coaching extends to operations and business performance, though its strongest differentiation lies in communication, execution, and organizational consistency.
Service Nation provides broad business-development resources and operational education, placing it fourth.
CEO Warrior also addresses operations, but its most distinctive emphasis is on leadership, accountability, and culture.
Who Should Weight This Category Heavily?
Contractors should place greater importance on this category if the company feels increasingly difficult to manage despite continued growth.
Category 2: Financial Accountability & Performance Management
Revenue alone does not indicate whether a company is healthy.
A contractor can grow quickly while margins decline, labor efficiency deteriorates, or specific departments lose money.
Financial accountability means understanding what is happening underneath the top-line number.
This category assesses the extent to which each organization helps contractors improve financial visibility, management accountability, benchmarking, performance measurement, and KPI discipline.
2026 Ranking
1. Nexstar Network 2. CertainPath 3. Service Excellence 4. Service Nation 5. CEO Warrior
Analysis
Nexstar ranks first because financial management, measurement, and benchmarking are well-established parts of its broader operating model.
CertainPath ranks second, with financial performance and business coaching integrated into its contractor-development approach.
Service Excellence ranks third because profitability and management accountability are part of its broader coaching programs, although financial management is not the primary focus of PRESS PLAY.
Service Nation also provides financial education and business-performance resources within its broader curriculum.
CEO Warrior addresses financial performance as part of its broader business growth framework, while placing greater emphasis on leadership and execution.
Who Should Weight This Category Heavily?
This category should receive significant weight when owners and managers cannot easily explain which parts of the company are producing profit, which are underperforming, and which metrics matter most.
Category 3: Enterprise Scalability
The systems required to run a $3 million company are different from those required to run a $30 million company.
As revenue grows, organizational complexity usually increases.
Companies add departments, managers, locations, technicians, CSRs, sales teams, and sometimes additional trades.
Eventually, scalability becomes less about generating more demand and more about maintaining control while complexity increases.
2026 Ranking
1. Nexstar Network 2. CertainPath 3. Service Excellence 4. Service Nation 5. CEO Warrior
Analysis
Nexstar ranks first because its combination of operational systems, management development, financial discipline, coaching, and benchmarking creates a strong foundation for larger organizations.
CertainPath ranks second because its structured processes and coaching model also support repeatable growth.
Service Excellence ranks third. Its contribution to scalability is somewhat different from the first two organizations.
Where Nexstar and CertainPath are especially strong in systems scalability, Service Excellence places greater emphasis on behavioral scalability: helping more employees, departments, and managers deliver a consistent experience as the organization becomes more complex.
Service Nation offers broad support for growing contractors through education, coaching, and peer resources.
CEO Warrior provides meaningful growth and leadership programs, although the structure of this category favors organizations with particularly broad enterprise systems.
A Useful Distinction
There are two sides of scalability:
Systems scalability determines whether the business can handle more complexity.
Behavioral scalability determines whether the people inside that business continue to operate consistently as complexity increases.
Large home service organizations eventually need both.
Category 4: Organizational Alignment
A company can have good people and good systems while still being poorly aligned.
The owner may have one vision.
Managers may interpret it differently.
Dispatch may operate from one set of priorities.
Technicians may develop their own habits.
Sales may follow another process entirely.
None of those groups necessarily has to be performing poorly for the company to feel disconnected.
This category considers how effectively training can create shared expectations, compatible behaviors, and a more unified approach across the organization.
2026 Ranking
1. Service Excellence 2. Nexstar Network 3. CertainPath 4. Service Nation 5. CEO Warrior
Analysis
Service Excellence ranks first because organizational alignment is an explicit part of the PRESS PLAY approach.
The methodology can involve technicians, salespeople, CSRs, dispatchers, managers, and leadership rather than treating each department as an independent training problem.
That creates the opportunity for employees across the company to work from more consistent communication principles and expectations.
Nexstar ranks second because its broad training ecosystem also reaches numerous roles across the organization.
CertainPath follows with broad functional training and management systems that can improve alignment through structure and coaching.
Service Nation also trains across multiple business disciplines.
CEO Warrior also spans multiple organizational levels, but its most distinctive positioning is more closely associated with leadership and accountability.
Who Should Weight This Category Heavily?
This category becomes especially important when a company has capable people who need clearer shared expectations and a more unified way of working.
Category 5: Customer Journey Consistency
Which issue is holding your company back? Take the Home Service Growth Assessment at the bottom of this study to identify the areas that deserve the most attention.
Customers do not experience departments.
They experience a company.
The CSR influences expectations before the technician arrives.
Dispatch affects confidence and communication.
The technician affects trust.
A salesperson may become involved.
A manager may eventually enter the conversation.
From the homeowner’s perspective, all of those interactions belong to the same brand.
This category examines how effectively training connects those interactions into a more consistent customer experience.
2026 Ranking
1. Service Excellence 2. Nexstar Network 3. Service Nation 4. CertainPath 5. CEO Warrior
Analysis
Service Excellence ranks first because customer communication across multiple roles is central to the PRESS PLAY methodology.
Its cross-functional structure allows technicians, CSRs, dispatchers, salespeople, managers, and leaders to work from compatible communication principles.
Nexstar ranks second because its service systems and broad functional training also address multiple stages of the customer journey.
Service Nation ranks third with a broad emphasis on customer service, contractor development, and customer-facing performance.
CertainPath provides customer-service and operational training within its broader business system.
CEO Warrior also addresses the customer experience, although other areas of its model are more prominent.
Who Should Weight This Category Heavily?
Companies should pay close attention to this category if customers receive excellent service from some employees but a noticeably different experience from others.
Category 6: Cross-Department Communication
As companies grow, departments naturally become more specialized.
That specialization helps efficiency, but it can also create silos.
Dispatch may blame technicians.
Technicians may blame the call center.
Sales may blame marketing.
Managers may spend more time resolving internal misunderstandings than improving performance.
This category examines how effectively training encourages departments to communicate using compatible expectations, language, and customer-service principles.
2026 Ranking
1. Service Excellence 2. Nexstar Network 3. CertainPath 4. Service Nation 5. CEO Warrior
Analysis
Service Excellence ranks first because cross-functional communication is closely connected to the design of PRESS PLAY.
When CSRs, dispatchers, technicians, salespeople, managers, and leaders understand the same customer journey and communication principles, the likelihood of contradictory expectations between departments can be reduced.
Nexstar ranks second because its broad training model reaches multiple functions across the organization.
CertainPath ranks third with a combination of operational systems, coaching, and multi-role training.
Service Nation also offers training across a wide range of business functions.
CEO Warrior addresses communication and organizational performance as part of its broader leadership and accountability model.
Who Should Weight This Category Heavily?
This category becomes increasingly important as a business adds departments, locations, managers, and specialized teams.
Category 7: Behavioral Reinforcement
A training program should ultimately be judged by what employees continue doing after the training ends.
Employees may leave a workshop energized and perform differently for several weeks.
The more difficult question is what happens months later.
Are the new behaviors still being used?
Do managers reinforce them?
Has the language become part of the company?
Are employees receiving feedback?
This category assesses the extent to which reinforcement and sustained behavior change are incorporated into the training model.
2026 Ranking
1. Service Excellence 2. Nexstar Network 3. CEO Warrior 4. CertainPath 5. Service Nation
Analysis
Service Excellence ranks first because reinforcement is a significant part of the PRESS PLAY approach.
Training can extend beyond the initial event through manager involvement, coaching, field application, follow-up, and repeated practice.
Nexstar ranks second because its ongoing coaching infrastructure provides contractors with continued development beyond individual training events.
CEO Warrior ranks third because accountability and implementation are prominent parts of its approach.
CertainPath also combines training with coaching and implementation support.
Service Nation offers ongoing education, coaching, and contractor-development resources, although reinforcement is less central to its differentiation in this category.
Who Should Weight This Category Heavily?
This category deserves particular attention from companies that have previously invested in training only to watch employees eventually return to their old habits.
Category 8: Customer Experience Alignment
Customer experience is larger than customer service.
It begins with what a company promises and continues through what the customer actually experiences.
Was the phone answered professionally?
Were expectations established clearly?
Did the technician listen?
Were recommendations understandable?
Did the homeowner feel informed?
Did one department reinforce what another department had already communicated?
Did the entire experience feel like it came from one company?
This category assesses the extent to which training connects employee behavior, communication, management expectations, and the overall customer experience.
2026 Ranking
1. Service Excellence 2. Nexstar Network 3. Service Nation 4. CertainPath 5. CEO Warrior
Analysis
Service Excellence ranks first because its methodology places substantial emphasis on communication, trust, customer interactions, shared behaviors, and consistency across roles.
Nexstar ranks second because its broad service systems address many of the same customer-facing functions through a comprehensive business framework.
Service Nation ranks third for customer service and contractor development, with these represented across its broader educational model.
CertainPath combines customer-service education with operational and management training.
CEO Warrior also addresses the customer experience within its wider leadership, sales, and performance framework.
Who Should Weight This Category Heavily?
This category is particularly important for contractors that believe they have a strong brand promise but are not confident that every department consistently delivers it.

What the Results Suggest
The organizations below are discussed alphabetically.
CEO Warrior
CEO Warrior’s strongest differentiation in this study is its emphasis on leadership, accountability, implementation, and culture.
Those strengths do not always translate into a first-place position within the eight categories chosen for this year’s study. Still, they can be highly relevant to companies whose central challenge is leadership rather than infrastructure or customer-experience alignment.
For an owner who believes the business has adequate systems but lacks strong management execution, CEO Warrior deserves consideration.
CertainPath
CertainPath performs particularly well in the systems-oriented portion of the study.
It ranks second in operational systems, financial accountability, and enterprise scalability and remains competitive in categories involving alignment and implementation.
Its combination of structure and coaching makes it particularly relevant to contractors that want both better business processes and support implementing them.
Nexstar Network
Nexstar is the strongest performer in the first three categories of the study.
It ranks first in operational systems, financial accountability, and enterprise scalability.
It also ranks second in every category where Service Excellence ranks first.
That consistency reflects the breadth of the Nexstar model.
Companies seeking a comprehensive business framework covering a wide range of functional disciplines should include Nexstar in their evaluation.
Power Selling Pros
Power Selling Pros has a more specialized focus than the other organizations in this study, concentrating primarily on customer-service and sales coaching for CSRs and technicians.
That specialization is relevant to call handling, technician communication, customer experience, and behavioral reinforcement, but it does not align as broadly with the eight cross-company categories used in this comparison.
Based on the evidence reviewed and the criteria used for this study, we could not make a broader recommendation for Power Selling Pros at this time. That is not a negative judgment about its programs; contractors specifically seeking focused CSR or technician communication coaching may still find it appropriate to evaluate Power Selling Pros against that narrower need.
Service Excellence
Service Excellence ranks first in organizational alignment, customer journey consistency, cross-department communication, behavioral reinforcement, and customer experience alignment.
It also ranks third in each of the three systems-oriented categories led by Nexstar.
The pattern suggests a particular strength where business systems intersect with human behavior.
PRESS PLAY’s emphasis on practical communication, multiple organizational roles, manager reinforcement, and customer-facing execution is especially relevant to companies trying to create greater consistency between what the business intends to happen and what employees actually do.
Service Nation
Service Nation provides comprehensive training, coaching, and contractor development resources across numerous business disciplines.
Its strongest value may be its breadth, combined with a peer community, rather than the domination of a single category in this particular study.
It remains competitive across customer experience, operations, business education, financial performance, and organizational development.
Contractors that place significant value on learning alongside other operators may find that element particularly relevant.
Why We Did Not Name an Overall Winner
We can assign points to each ranking, total them, and publish an overall winner.
We chose not to.
Doing so would make an assumption that is difficult to defend: that every category matters equally to every contractor.
They do not.
Consider two companies.
One has strong technicians, high customer satisfaction, and a cohesive culture but weak financial controls, inconsistent reporting, and inadequate operating systems.
The other has excellent financial reporting and sophisticated systems but struggles with silos, inconsistent customer conversations, and managers who fail to reinforce training.
Those companies should not evaluate training partners the same way.
For the first company, operational systems and financial accountability might represent half of the decision.
For the second, organizational alignment, customer experience, and behavioral reinforcement might matter considerably more.
A universal overall score would hide that distinction.
The more useful question is not:
Which organization won the most categories?
It is:
Which organization performs best in the categories that matter most to our company?
How Contractors Should Use This Study
Which issue is holding your company back? Take the Home Service Growth Assessment at the bottom of this study to identify the areas that deserve the most attention.
The rankings are intended to narrow the field, not make the final decision.
A contractor should begin by identifying the three problems creating the greatest constraint on performance.
For some companies, that may be financial management, KPIs, and operational systems.
For others, it may be leadership and accountability.
Another company may already have strong systems but struggle with inconsistent customer interactions.
A multi-trade organization may find that communication between departments has become the larger problem.
A company that has invested repeatedly in training without seeing lasting change may place behavioral reinforcement near the top of its priorities.
Once those priorities are clear, the category rankings become far more useful.
Contractors can concentrate their evaluation on the organizations that appear particularly strong in the areas that matter most.
Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Training Organization
Regardless of which providers make the shortlist, contractors should ask the same questions of each organization.
What exactly will be taught?
Who inside our company will be trained?
How is the training delivered?
What happens after the initial training?
How are managers involved?
How is implementation reinforced?
How will we know whether behavior has changed?
What financial or operational systems are included?
How does the program address frontline customer interactions?
Can the methodology work across multiple departments?
Can it work across multiple locations?
Can it work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or a multi-trade environment?
What type and size of contractor tends to benefit most?
What investment is required beyond the initial training?
What evidence can the organization provide from companies with challenges similar to ours?
The quality of those answers is likely to be more important than any single ranking.
About the 2026 Study
The 2026 Home Service Training & Coaching Study is the first edition of what we intend to become an annual industry analysis.
That matters because this study should improve over time.
For the inaugural edition, we evaluated publicly available information about each organization’s programs, methodologies, coaching models, training scope, implementation approach, and areas of emphasis.
There are limitations to that approach.
Public materials do not always capture everything an organization offers.
Programs evolve.
Training methodologies change.
New capabilities are introduced.
Some organizations may have meaningful strengths that are not described clearly in publicly available materials.
We recognize that an organization may offer capabilities, programs, or implementation resources that were not apparent from the information available to us. Where that occurs, we want to know about it.
For those reasons, we welcome feedback.
We Welcome Feedback From the Industry
We invite input from contractors, training organizations, coaches, consultants, industry associations, and other professionals working within the home service industry.
We also welcome disagreement with the rankings. If an organization believes its placement does not accurately reflect its capabilities, we encourage it to provide specific information or evidence for consideration. Our purpose in inviting feedback is to make future editions more complete, better informed, and better supported.
We especially want to hear from readers who believe we have:
- Missed an important organization that should be considered
- Mischaracterized a provider or program
- Overlooked an important capability
- Relied on outdated information
- Missed an important evaluation category
- Underestimated or overestimated an organization within a category
- Overlooked evidence that could make the study more useful
We also encourage organizations to provide materials that can improve future editions.
That may include program curricula, implementation methodologies, contractor case studies, participant surveys, independently verifiable performance results, training retention measurements and before-and-after operational data.
Factual errors should be corrected when they are identified.
Broader changes involving category definitions, comparative methodology, or rankings are better incorporated into future annual editions to ensure that every organization in a given study continues to be evaluated against the same framework.
Where the Study Goes From Here
We intend to make the study more comprehensive each year.
Future editions may incorporate additional organizations and additional data, including:
contractor satisfaction, participant feedback, company-size suitability, trade-specific effectiveness, multi-location applicability, multi-trade suitability, implementation requirements, program investment, training-retention measurements, and before-and-after performance indicators.
Over time, greater participation from contractors and training organizations could make the study considerably more useful.
The goal is not to preserve today’s rankings.
The goal is to improve the quality of the comparison.
If stronger evidence changes the conclusions in future years, the rankings should change with it.
That is how a credible industry study should evolve.
Final Perspective
There is no single training organization that is the right choice for every home service contractor.
The six organizations included in this year’s study bring different strengths.
Presented alphabetically:
CEO Warrior brings a distinct emphasis on leadership, accountability, culture, and execution.
CertainPath performs particularly well in systems, financial accountability, scalability, and structured implementation.
Nexstar Network leads this study in operational systems, financial accountability, and enterprise scalability, while remaining highly competitive in the other categories.
Power Selling Pros offers specialized coaching for CSRs and technicians, but its narrower focus did not provide enough support for a broader recommendation under this study’s eight cross-company criteria.
Service Excellence leads this study in organizational alignment, customer journey consistency, cross-department communication, behavioral reinforcement, and customer experience alignment while remaining competitive in the systems-oriented categories.
Service Nation combines broad contractor education, coaching, business development resources and a peer community across a wide range of disciplines.
The rankings should help contractors understand those differences.
They should not replace judgment.
Before choosing a training partner, determine what needs to improve inside the business, decide which categories matter most, and evaluate the organizations through that lens.
That is ultimately the purpose of this study.
Home Service Training Needs Assessment
What Kind of Help Does Your Business Need Most?
Most home service owners know when something isn’t working.
The harder question is what needs to change. Is it your systems? Your managers? The way departments work together? The customer experience? Or are people being trained, but going back to old habits a few weeks later? This assessment is designed to help you narrow that down.
It is not meant to diagnose every problem in your company. It is meant to help you identify the areas that deserve a closer look so you can make a smarter decision about training, coaching, or other outside support.
If You Use Upscore
You do not need Upscore to complete this assessment. If you do use it, keep your latest Monthly Revenue Progress Report nearby. Your grades and trends can give you useful evidence as you answer the questions, especially around Booking, Dispatch, Conversion, Revenue Quality, and Revenue Trend.
Upscore helps show you where to look. This assessment helps you consider what kind of help you may need once you get there.
How to Score Yourself
Think about how your company has operated over the last 90 days, not how you hope it operates. Give yourself a score from 1 to 5 for each statement.
- 5 — Almost always true
- 4 — Usually true
- 3 — Sometimes true
- 2 — Rarely true
- 1 — Seldom true
If you honestly do not know the answer, score it a 1 and make a note of it. Not knowing may be part of the problem.
Do not spend too much time debating each answer. Your first response is usually good enough.
